The Best of Ultra Successful — 2023 Edition

I know your schedule is busy, but I wanted to send a quick note as 2023 winds to a close. It’s been a heck of a year, and — whether you’ve climbed to new heights or taken on some obstacles — I’m glad you’re part of the Ultra Successful community, and I can’t wait to see what you do next.

With more than 20,000 subscribers across 171 countries (!) worldwide, you’re part of a growing movement of like-minded individuals who believe they are capable of more…and are ready to make it happen.

As we continue to grow together, I wanted to let you know about two things:

1. Our first-ever Best of Ultra Successful list is listed below! We’ve ranked our top 10 paid editions of 2023 based on reader activity, so this is a great resource for catching up — or revisiting — some of our most popular editions (including my favorite edition of 2023). If you’re planning on gifting someone a subscription to Ultra Successful this holiday season, you can also send them this post as a great place to get started.

2. We’ve got some incredible things planned on the horizon. From opportunities to share your own wisdom to members-only Q&A, we’ll be making some big announcements in the coming year, and I’ll encourage you to watch this space as we continue to shape the future of Ultra Successful together.

It takes a lot of work to make big things happen, but — to everyone still climbing — I see you. Let’s keep going.

We’ve had an incredible year of growth, and — with more than 130 posts shared since Ultra Successful was launched in October 2022 — that means there’s a lot of incredible content that’s been shared since then.

Here’s a quick recap of 10 of our best editions that you might want to revisit:

1. This is Just the Beginning

We started off 2023 strong with this edition, and “This is Just the Beginning” still ranks as our #1 edition of the year. Not only is it our top-liked post of 2023, but it also brought in the most new subscribers this year.

2. Success and the Imaginary Rules You Live By

We all have imaginary rules. Whether you choose to abide by them — and let them hold you back — is up to you. Not only is this one of our top-liked editions of 2023, but it’s also one of my personal favorites.

3. People Pleasing Will Kill Your Future

You cannot be an outlier and be like everyone else. This edition explores the concept of “chasing greatness,” and — considering it’s our top shared post of 2023 — it might be worth sending to someone who needs a reminder that you determine your own life.

4. Tenacity is a Success Code

There’s a massive difference between persistence and tenacity, and learning that difference is a game-changer. If you’re grinding through life without much progress, you’ll want to revisit this top-liked and top-shared post.

5. Becoming “The Only”

Being quirky isn’t a bad thing — and it can actually help you dominate your space. This edition was one of our top 3 drivers of paid subscribers for 2023, and — for those looking to become “The Only” in their space — start here.

6. 16 Hours, 16 Bets: Optimal Decision-Making

We cover a lot of mindset-related topics in Ultra Successful, but “16 Hours, 16 Bets” is a brass-tacks, practical approach to making faster & better decisions — and it includes some great filters that can help you tighten up your decision-making in the days ahead.

7. Drop Your Ego — Grow Your Power

Everything is information. Learning how to drop your ego — and actually receive feedback — can be a major differentiator…if you’re willing to do the work. This topic can be tough to work through, but considering it’s one of our top-shared editions of 2023…it’s worth the work.

8. The Power of Internal Positioning: Use it All

We’re told to shy away from so-called negative emotions, but — if you want to be Ultra Successful — it’s all about learning how to use them the right way. If you want to learn how to leverage your emotions as power, you’ll want to read this edition ASAP.

9. How to Compound Confidence

You get what you reinforce. If you want to escape the cycle of compounding hesitation — and compound confidence instead — this is one of our top-liked editions of 2023 and a great place to start.

10. The Power of Audacity

Everyone is taking the same route to get through a small door. If you want to skip the line, then audacity isn’t just helpful — it’s going to be required. Sink your teeth into this edition if you’re ready to break out of the rut and make some audacious moves out there.
